  • the user-portable electronic device is user portable in the sense that it can be carried by a user, and may be a mobile phone, a laptop or a personal digital assistant, for example.
  • the mobile electronic device is not necessarily user portable, and may be a car with a built-in hands-free kit, for example. More specifically, the invention relates to facilitating the location of the user-portable device and/or mobile electronic devices.
  • a user-portable electronic device comprising
  • the last known geographic location may be the location when the connection was originally established.
  • the last known location of the or each mobile device may be based on where the connection was last active, disconnected or lost. This would be particularly beneficial as movement of the devices may occur during connection.

  • a module for a user-portable electronic device comprising
  • a module for a user-portable electronic device comprising
  • a network apparatus comprising storage circuitry arranged to store a geographic-location log including at least a last-known geographic location of one or more mobile electronic devices.
  • a method of facilitating location of a mobile electronic device comprising
  • Any circuitry of the user-portable electronic device or module according to the invention may include one or more processors, memories and bus lines. One or more of the circuitries described may share circuitry elements.
  • a user-portable electronic device comprising: means (e.g. communication connection circuitry or transmission connection circuitry) for communicating Bluetooth signals between the user-portable electronic device and one or more mobile electronic devices; means (e.g. geographic-location determining circuitry) for determining geographic location of the one or more mobile electronic devices based on the geographic location of the user-portable electronic device when within the range of the Bluetooth communication signals; means (e.g. log circuitry) for communicating with a remote storage circuitry; means (e.g.
  • the log circuitry for allowing storage of a geographic-location log including the geographic location of the one or more mobile electronic devices whose geographic location has been determined by the means for determining geographic location of the one or more mobile electronic devices, wherein the remote storage circuitry is capable of storing the geographic-location log and forms a part of a network server or a personal computer.
  • the present invention includes one or more aspects, embodiments and/or features of said aspects and/or embodiments in isolation and/or in various combinations whether or not specifically stated (including claimed) in that combination or in isolation.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a user-portable electronic device 100 having an antenna module 12, transmission connection circuitry 14, geographic-location determining circuitry 16, log circuitry 18, user-interface circuitry 20 and storage circuitry 22.
  • the transmission connection circuitry 14 is arranged to establish transmission connection via the antenna module 12 between the user-portable electronic device 100 and one or more mobile electronic devices 52-56, such as headsets or hands-free kits, for example, and also to communicate with positioning systems such as GPS satellites (not shown).
  • the geographic-location determining circuitry 16 is arranged to determine the geographic location of a mobile electronic device 52-56 when the user-portable electronic device 100 connects to that mobile electronic device 52-56. With mobile electronic devices 52-56 that include position-determining circuitry, such as a GPS module, the geographic-location determining circuitry 16 receives geographic-location data from the mobile electronic device 52-56 during the connection to that mobile electronic device 52-56. With mobile electronic devices 52-56 that do not include position-determining circuitry, the geographic-location determining circuitry 16 determines its own geographic location (i.e.
  • the geographic-location determining circuitry 16 includes a GPS module 30 and a cell ID module 32 whereby it obtains geographic location data. For example, in the case that the user-portable electronic device 100 connects to a Bluetooth TM headset, the geographic-location determining circuitry 16 determines its own geographic location and calculates the geographic location of the headset as the area within a 10m radius of its own geographic location, 10m being the range within which transmission connection can be established with the Bluetooth TM headset.
  • the log circuitry 18 is arranged to allow storage of a geographic-location log 26, as shown in Figure 3 , including a last-known geographic location of each mobile electronic device 52-56 whose geographic location has been determined by the geographic-location determining circuitry 16.
  • Each record of the log 26 includes fields describing the name or other identifiers (for example, the physical IP/MAC/Bluetooth TM address) of the mobile electronic device 52-56 to which the user-portable electronic device 100 has been connected, the geographic location of the mobile electronic device 52-56 as determined by the geographic-location determining circuitry 16 at the time of the transmission connection, the date of the transmission connection, the time of the transmission connection, and the transmission connection media, for example via Bluetooth TM or wireless local area network WLAN.
  • the log 26 is stored in the storage circuitry 22.
  • the log in Figure 3 is an active log indicating which device is currently connected.
  • the user-interface circuitry 20 allows the user to access the geographic-location log 26 in order to facilitate location of the mobile electronic devices 52-56.
  • the user-interface circuitry 20 can be used to sort or search entries in the geographic-location log 26.
  • the entries may be sorted or searched based on a regularity of transmission connection with a particular mobile electronic device 52-56 (i.e. the entries are presented according to connection frequency), a name of a mobile electronic device 52-56, a location, a time, and/or transmission connection settings.
  • Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of a user-portable electronic device 200 which includes, in addition to the elements of user-portable electronic device 100 (the antenna module 12, transmission connection circuitry 14, geographic-location determining circuitry 16, log circuitry 18, user-interface circuitry 20 and storage circuitry 22), removable storage circuitry 24 and an electrical connector 28.
  • the log circuitry 18 is arranged to communicate with the removable storage circuitry 24, which stores the geographic-location log 26.
  • the removable storage circuitry 24 is a memory stick.
  • the electrical connector 28 is used for wired/physical transmission connection to mobile electronic devices 52-56. In the case that wired transmission connection is established between the user-portable electronic device 200 and a mobile electronic device 52-56 which cannot determine its geographic location, the geographic-location determining circuitry 16 uses its own geographic location as that of the mobile electronic device 52-56.
  • user-portable electronic device 300 does not include the storage circuitry 22 or removable storage circuitry 24, but instead the log circuitry 18 communicates via the transmission connection circuitry 14 and antenna module 12 with remote electronic device 34 having remote storage circuitry 36.
  • the remote storage circuitry stores the geographic-location log 26.
  • the remote storage circuitry 36 may form part of a network server or a personal computer. In this way, the user can use the personal computer to access the log 26 in order to locate mobile electronic devices 52-56 to which the user portable electronic device 300 has connected, or even to locate the user-portable electronic device itself, since the geographic locations of the mobile electronic devices 52-56 will be indicative of, or even identical to, the geographic locations of the user-portable electronic device 300. This will facilitate location of the mobile electronic device 52-56 independently of the user-portable electronic device 300.
  • the log 26 is stored in multiple locations including any of the storage circuitry 22, removable storage circuitry 24 and remote storage circuitry 36.
  • Figure 6 shows a variant of the geographic-location log 26.
  • the log 26 includes a history of the geographic locations of a particular mobile electronic device 52-56 (i.e. the log is a historical log available after disconnection of the devices).
  • the log 26 records the geographic location of the mobile electronic device 52-56, in this case a Bluetooth TM headset, each time a transmission connection with that device is made, along with the date and time of the transmission connection and the transmission connection media used. The user may search through the history in order to trace his movements.
  • Figure 7 shows a user-portable electronic device 100 having a display 38 displaying a map 42.
  • a crosshair 40 indicates the last-known geographic location of a mobile electronic device 52-56 to which the user-portable electronic device 100 connected, the crosshair 40 indicating the geographic location on the map 42, such that the user can readily identify the geographic location.
  • the particular mobile electronic device 52-56 for which geographic location information is required is selectable by the user via the user-interface circuitry 20.
  • a user who has forgotten where he parked his car can use the user-portable electronic device 100 to display on the map 42 the last-known geographic location of a headset which he uses in his car (and which was last connected when in the car), thereby to discover the location of the car.
  • the previous connection of the device 100 to the built-in hands-free kit of the car can be used to determine the location of the car.
  • Figure 8 shows the same user-portable electronic device 100 with map 42 and crosshair 40 displayed on the display 38. Further displayed is a trace 44 representing a history of the geographic locations of the mobile electronic device 52-56.
  • the user-portable electronic device 100 may include cartographic circuitry 46, as shown in Figure 9 .
